Categories     Mains     Chicken     Christmas     Dinner Party     Sunday lunch     Mushroom

Time 1h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

olive oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely sliced
500 g mixed, interesting mushrooms (such as shiitake, oyster, chestnut etc), cleaned - large ones chopped up, small ones ripped up
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 lemon
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 large handful pine nuts
2 large handfuls fresh white breadcrumbs
1 free-range egg, beaten
1 whole higher-welfare chicken, approximately 1.5kg

Steps:

  • You don't often see whole chicken that's been stuffed like this. I think that's a real shame because it adds such beautiful flavour and the natural juices from the chicken will give you the most gorgeous stuffing.
  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/475°F/gas 9. Heat a good lug of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add your onion and garlic and cook for about 10 minutes until soft, but not coloured. Add the mushrooms with the leaves from a few of your thyme sprigs. Turn the heat up to high and fry for 5 to 10 minutes until the mushrooms go slightly crispy. Remove from the heat, grate in the zest of the lemon and season well. Tip into a bowl and leave to one side to cool.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, use clean hands to mix in the pine nuts and breadcrumbs, then add the egg. Carefully, push your fingers between the meat and skin on the top of the chicken then gently create a pocket for the stuffing. Push a quarter of the stuffing into this pocket and roll the remaining mixture into balls and pop to one side. Cut your zested lemon in half and place in the chicken cavity with the remaining thyme sprigs. Pop your chicken in a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place in the preheated oven and turn the heat down to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Cook for 40 minutes, then add your mushroom stuffing balls to the tray. Return to the oven and cook for a further 35 minutes until gorgeous and golden. To check your chicken is cooked, stick a skewer into the fattest part of the thigh - if the juices run clear, your chicken is done. Leave to rest for 10 to 15 minutes, covered loosely with tin foil, then serve with fluffy roast potatoes and seasonal greens.

SIMPLE CHICKEN STUFFING



Simple Chicken Stuffing image

This is how I often stuff chicken, probably not as good as some of the more elaborate recipes but better than using pre-packaged stuffing. This is enough for a small chicken, double the quantities for a large chicken. While a matter of personal prference I don't go too overboard chopping the onion / celery finely and like it to have a slightly chunky texture.

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1-1/4 cups water
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 package (6 ounces) cornbread stuffing mix

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. A whole chicken is ideal for stuffing, as it provides enough space for the stuffing and cooks evenly. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure the stuffing is moist. Dry stuffing will absorb moisture from the chicken, making it dry and bland. To avoid this, add some moisture to the stuffing, such as broth, milk, or eggs.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken. Overstuffing the chicken will prevent the stuffing from cooking properly and may cause the chicken to burst. Aim to fill the chicken about two-thirds full.
  • Season the chicken and stuffing well. Seasoning is key to making a flavorful chicken and stuffing. Be sure to season both the inside and outside of the chicken, as well as the stuffing.
  • Cook the chicken to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.

Conclusion:

Chicken and stuffing is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a special meal to serve, give chicken and stuffing a try.
